KAPA® line (Lightweight foam boards)

The "classic" board among the lightweight foam boards!


Composition:

The sandwich panel with FSC®-certified top layers of pigmented, white chromo substitute board and a core made of white PUR rigid foam.

Applications:

KAPA® line foam boards (also known as decorative boards or Depafit boards) are ideal for signage, mood boards, presentations and as a base panel for all design work, as well as for 3D applications such as POS/POP displays, exhibition stands and (architectural) model making.

Further processing:

The white, carboard-laminated face sheets are ideal for direct digital printing as well as screen printing. The open paper structure allows colours to dry particularly easily. Easy cutting (by cutter/knife or digital cutting plotter) allows creative shapes/free forms. Alternatively, prints (e.g. photos, plans, posters), as well as foils and textiles amongst other things, can be applied/laminated on KAPA® line boards with spray glue. An even simpler alternative to mounting prints is offered by KAPA® fix lightweight foam boards, which are equipped with self-adhesive film on one or both sides.

(Special) formats and free-forms:

As a leading 3A distributor KOHLSCHEIN offers the entire KAPA® line range in all thicknesses, formats and exclusive special formats.
We are happy to cut individual sheets and free-forms according to your specifications: cutting service.

  • Cover layers can be processed with commercially available adhesives and colours
